The 2lb tension spring for Sanwa JLF replaces the existing spring found in the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick, or Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK Silent Microswitch Joystick, adding 1.1lb more force than the original. This results in a stiffer joystick, which is favored amongst some players who don't like the loose feel of the JLF. Using this spring, you no longer have to combine the original with a LS-32 to achieve the same level of tension.

2lb Tension Spring for Sanwa JLF
-
Better experience
So much better than the stock light tension. Your inputs are cleaner and the neutral is faster. I would suggest to order the 4lb as well because overtime 2lb can feel as not enough. I eventually settled with 4lb for Sanwa. Janus on Nov 27th 2019

A must have upgrade
The 2lb spring should be the standard. The stock spring is too soft in my opinion so I put these in every stick I have. Perfect for Sanwa jlf and Hori Hyabusa sticks. Unknown on Nov 20th 2019

Much much better than stock spring
I was looking for a more comfortable and stiff feel on my stick, it felt over sensitive with stock spring. This spring is great, and it made me feel more in control , almost no drops and the movements are precise. Sanwa should really consider shipping stock sticks with this springs and not 1.2 lbs. mezard on Nov 14th 2019

BETTER THAN STOCK SPRING.
This tension spring is a bit more high tension than original spring so it's make your stick return to it position better than feather light stock spring. Unknown on Nov 5th 2019

Perfect for people who don't like stock
I bought this spring simply because the stock one in my Sanwa felt too loose as I'm a mechanic and a little heavy handed, I'm going to still check out the 4lb spring but so far this one is a definite upgrade, stick bounce back quicker and it doesn't have that loose feeling the original one the stick came with did. Highly recommended Ed C on Oct 24th 2019

Mandatory For Those Used To Older Arcade Machines
I grew up playing on older arcade cabinets in the US, with more stiff levers, so when I got a modern arcade stick, I found the actual stick itself to be really loose. I looked up a solution and found out about changing the spring tension by swapping it out. After receiving my order almost a week early, I checked out a tutorial and found it surprisingly easy to install. The difference was immediately apparent, and welcome. It felt snappier and more solid than the original feeling of the old spring. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and I recommend getting one if you're even remotely curious.

Great for Tekken
After years of playing on my TE2 I finally switched out the stock spring for this 2lb replacement. I mostly play Tekken now and difference is very noticeable. There doesn't seem to be a drag on certain inputs and moves that require neutral position come out more consistently. Highly recommend if you feel your stick is too loose. It feels a little too tight at first but after a week it feels pretty natural. I even ordered a 2nd one for my other stick. Unknown on Oct 11th 2019

Works fine
Bought this for my Razer Panthera. Was having issues with the stick not returning to neutral as quickly as I would like. Installation was easy (can't speak to other sticks though) and made quick stick returns to neutral much more consistent for me. Note that it does take a little bit of getting used to and is a little more tiring on the hand than a lighter spring, but that's to be expected and well worth it in my opinion. Bryan on Aug 9th 2019

Mandatory mod for Hyabusa users
Spring doesn't add much if any noticeable tension increase while nullifying the issue of accidental inputs by releasing to neutral with the stock Hyabusa spring. Unknown on Aug 2nd 2019
